Sorry to say that I think this a problem isolated to your install.  It could be that Docky is what is launching the extra processes.  Did you perhaps add something to your session startup script, perhaps there are some scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d?
Marking this as invalid, it's not an issue with Unity.

  I typically run Thunderbird, Firefox, a terminal or two, Gthumb, Gimp,
  Qcad, Gedit, Libreoffice, Inkscape, Document Viewer and occasionally
  Virtualbox.

  I just noticed this a couple of weeks ago, so I am guessing a recent
  update started it.

  It seems to me that there are quite a few duplicate copies of some
  processes populating memory after suspending/resuming a session for a
  few days.  Namely, dbus-daemon, gvfsd and gconfd-2.  The more I
  suspend/resume the session, the more of these processes appear.  After
  a while they start using up a significant amount of memory and system
  response seems to slow down.

  Logging out and back in did not alleviate the problem. Rebooting did.
  But, I will have to reboot again in a week to free up the memory used
  by these duplicate processes.

  The example session used to get the following results was probably
  well over a week in use.

  Before rebooting:
  $ ps -ef >prereboot.txt
  $ grep -i dbus-daemon <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  40
  $ grep -i gvfsd <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  78
  $ grep -i gconfd-2 <prereboot.txt|wc -l
  37

  After rebooting:
  $ ps -ef >postreboot.txt
  $ grep -i dbus-daemon <postreboot.txt|wc -l
  4
  $ grep -i gvfsd <postreboot.txt|wc -l
  5
  $ grep -i gconfd-2 <postreboot.txt|wc -l
